Question

Refractive index of diamond with respect to glass is 1.6 and the absolute refractive index of glass is 1.5, then the absolute refractive index of diamond is:

Options

• 1.4

• 2.4

• 3.4

• 1

Answer 1

2.4

Explanation:

`μ_"diamond" = μ_"glass" xx _"glass"μ_"diamond"`

= 1.5 × 1.6

= 2.4
